I was in London this summer riding a charter bus and noticed about 80% or higher that cars passing by had manual transmission during rush hour.
I saw many men and women in their bussiness suits rolling manual gears with their left hands.
In contrast, I see many in US switching to auto due to rush hour traffic.

The Germans and the rest of Europeans love their manual transmission cars. In fact, many view automatic transmissions as accommodations for individuals with some medical issues, e.g., bum knee.
